Yikes! As of right now, the 6-Night Bermuda and Canada Cruise on the Disney Wish October 8-14, 2027 only has Concierge rooms available. As I've explained to many people already, the initial booking window always has rooms sell out quickly, but many times people are holding them before making deposits and then they go back in to inventory. HOWEVER, given that this is the Disney Wish (a very popular ship) and it's sailing out of NYC, booking ASAP will ensure you have a room and the best pricing because it will increase as demand also increases. Please message, call, text or email ASAP.

*Make a Wish in the City that Never Sleeps
Disney Cruise Line is headed back to New York City!*

The Disney Wish will arrive in New York in late September 2027 after the ship’s inaugural season in Europe. For seven special voyages, the Disney Wish will set sail on four- to seven-night sailings to beautiful destinations, bringing you from “the city that never sleeps” to the vacation of your dreams.

Guests will have the chance to wave goodbye to the big city and say hello to the pink sand beaches of Bermuda on five sailings from New York. Three of these cruises will extend the visit for an extra day to give families more time to experience Bermuda’s rich culture and stunning scenery.

Just in time for the brilliant colors of the autumn leaves, Disney Cruise Line will sail from New York to New England and Canada’s Atlantic coast for the first time in nearly four years. These charming coastlines create the perfect seasonal photo backdrop, complete with Disney Cruise Line’s iconic red funnels.

*More to Explore in Puerto Rico and Panama*

There will be more opportunities to sail from the historic coasts of San Juan onboard the Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy in Fall 2027 and Spring 2028, sending you on five- to seven-night Southern and Eastern Caribbean sailings dotted with tropical island escapes.

The Disney Magic will make two repositioning cruises through the legendary Panama Canal in Fall 2027 and Spring 2028. These 14-night cruises will each make a maiden call, with the eastbound sailing stopping in the vibrant Fuerte Amador (Panama City), Panama, and the westbound sailing stopping in Colon, Panama, the Caribbean gateway to the canal.

Repositioning sailings are the perfect way to enjoy more time onboard with Disney entertainment, unforgettable dining experiences, and fun in the sun on the upper decks, all while visiting thrilling new destinations.

*Create Memories Sailing from Sunny Florida*

For the first time, the Disney Destiny will home port in Port Canaveral in Fall 2027, setting sail on three- to-seven-night cruises to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean. The Disney Destiny will open the season in Fort Lauderdale, continuing three- to five-night Bahamas and Western Caribbean cruises filled with heroes-and-villains-inspired onboard dining and entertainment for the whole family.

Following the New York City and San Juan sailings, the Disney Wish will return to Port Canaveral for three- and four-night Bahamian cruises that include stops at Disney’s island destinations, Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

The Disney Treasure will continue seven-night sailings to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, plus two special voyages—one eight-night sailing to the Eastern Caribbean, and one six-night Bahamian sailing with two stops at Disney Cruise Line’s private island destination, Disney Castaway Cay, for double the Disney magic.

The Disney Dream will also sail from Port Canaveral on three- and four-night sailings to The Bahamas before repositioning to Fort Lauderdale in November 2027 for three- to five-night Bahamian sailings. One six-night sailing will make two stops at Disney Castaway Cay for even more time to enjoy the beautiful beaches, family play areas and surprise underwater Disney treasures.

The Disney Fantasy will set sail from Port Canaveral from September through November 2027 on four- and five-night sailings to The Bahamas and Western Caribbean, and Fort Lauderdale for four- to seven-night sailings to The Bahamas and Eastern Caribbean. From Fort Lauderdale, the Disney Fantasy will also sail to Bermuda for the first time with an eight-night cruise visiting both Disney Bahamian island destinations.

*Dreamy Escapes from California and Texas*

Disney Cruise Line will double the magic with two ships sailing from San Diego through early November 2027, with both the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder beginning the season in California with three- to seven-night Baja and Mexican Riviera sailings. The Disney Wonder will continue the Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 seasons in San Diego with three- to-seven-night cruises, including stops at Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and Catalina Island, California.

After its Eastbound Panama Canal sailing, the Disney Magic will return to Texas and spend the season taking families on four- to-seven-night cruises from Galveston. Select seven-night Bahamian itineraries from Galveston will include stops at both Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and Disney Castaway Cay for even more ways to experience Disney out of the Lone Star State.
